That's the whole point Rich. We can judge these things for ourselves, we don't need a sticker.

Especially if the sticker is going to be erroneously applied. Can you REALLY with a straight face tell me that Johnny Bench rookie PSA 1 is undergraded??? Seriosuly???????????????

If only this service was available for rating women.
A purple sticker would have saved me around $1M
and 2 divorces.

Maybe they are trying the PSA model. Have horrible customer service, be very inconsistent in grading, and take your sweet time delivering your product. It worked for PSA just look at the sheeple line up to highly overpay for their magic plastic holders that sometimes have the correct grade.

The purple sticker gentleman is just trying to fix a small percentage of their mistakes. Now he just needs to get it on a ton of slabs so everyone will depend on the Purple Sticker like they do PSA slabs for their collection to have any value.

WE Can tell; not everyone who buys cards is as well-educated as we are. I will repeat what I said, and this is not whether I believe he is doing good work or not. For some people; having that sticker makes sense and the market is not being serviced for this type of situation.

If he does a good job, people will use the service. If not, the service will go away. But it is something not currently done in the marketplace and as such does make sense as a new opportunity for a business.

I remember having breakfast with Roger Neufelt before a Philly show maybe 12-15 years ago and this is when PSA had not yet created the .5. His point at the time was a PSA 8 could be a 7.51 to an 8.50. Using that logic, an card which we would now grade 8.5 was graded an 8 and thus qualifies for that purple sticker.
